Digital Video I/Os
CLIPSTER supports several SDI modes, which can be selected through the
user interface in the software. Different SDI modes may require different
connections to the digital video I/Os located on the main connector panel.
The I/O ports are divided into four quadrants, each of them having a row for
the A and B links as well as two In and Out ports.
CLIPSTER
SDI general layout
R&S names the input/output ports of the digital video signals alphabetically:
the main video link is available on the A ports and the secondary video link
on the B ports. The numbers specify the quadrant those ports belong to. For
example, a connection of 4K 1.5-Gbit/s SDI output will have the following
layout:

For in- and output CLIPSTER also supports 3-Gbit/s SDI which provides all
features of a standard dual-link connection, but requires only one connector
instead of two (SMPTE 425, level A and B). In the example above, only the
A ports would be connected. A 3-Gbit/s input signal can be automatically
detected by the software. For an output it has to be enabled via the software.
The following table gives an overview on the signal assignment on the SDI

SSD Disk Maintenance
RAID Storage Protection
In a system with huge amounts of data processed, large storage capacities
combined with high data throughputs are mandatory. To provide both at the
same time it is common practice in the area of video and digital film to
configure several SSD disks together into a stripe set or RAID.
The RAID feature makes the R&S system tolerant of disk failures. Even with
a broken disk operations can still be continued and, once the failed disk has
been replaced, the missing data can be easily recovered. The data protection is provided by a RAID controller installed inside the system. The
controller administers the data protection for the sets of SSD disks
connected to it.
The optional internal storage of the R&S system comprises one or more
SSD disk packs. These are connected to RAID controllers in a RAID 5 setup.
With this, the data is striped across these SSD disks during write procedures. At the same time the information necessary to rebuild a failed disk
(parity information) is generated and written across the disks as well. With
the parity information written, one SSD disk per disk set (RAID pack) can fail
and your data will still be recoverable as the information is stored on the
other disks.
Data Loss
If a second disk within the same disk set fails in the meantime, the data will be unrecoverable.
You can identify the SSD disks that are connected to a RAID controller
easily at the R&S system because every two rows represent one disk
set/RAID pack:
Disk sets (RAID packs) of the SSD disk array
With the available RAID feature the R&S system can withstand disk failures
without losing data or access to data.

Removing the Front Cover
To get access to the disk arrays you will have to first remove the front cover.
Perform the following steps:
1.
2. Push both levers inwards to detach the cover and remove it.
CLIPSTER
Electromagnetic Compatibility
The system must be operated only with the front cover
closed to ensure electromagnetic compatibility.
Unlock the front cover on both sides.
To attach the front cover reverse the above steps.
The front cover is now removed.
Identifying a Defective SSD Disk
In case of an alert or when suspecting a defective SSD disk, you have to
identify the broken SSD disk first in order to replace it.
Alert
An alert can be caused by a number of reasons. Please
refer to section “Troubleshooting” on page 61 first for further
details about what to do in case of an alert.
If a SSD disk fails, the alert will be triggered by the RAID
controller. Data accesses to the SSD disk array are still
possible because any missing data will be recalculated from
the parity information stored on the other SSD disks of the
disk set. This can limit the overall performance and realtime operations may no longer be possible.

SSD Disk Maintenance
Data Loss
If you do not replace a defective disk in time and another
disk fails in the meantime, your data may be unrecoverable.
Before replacing a SSD disk you have to gather the log
files of the RAID controller. If you do not know how to
do this, please contact the Rohde & Schwarz service
department first.
Replace the failed disk as soon as possible.
In most cases you can find the broken disk by simply observing the LEDs of
the disk array, see section “SSD Disk Array” on page 20.The status of a
single disk is indicated by two LEDs on the front of the disk carrier:
Status LEDs on Disk Drive
Once the defective disk has been identified, you can replace it as described
in section “Replacing the SSD Disk in the Carrier” on page 49.
Total Loss of Data
Replacing the wrong SSD disk, i.e. a good one instead of
the defective one, may result in a total loss of data.
If you are unsure about having detected the correct SSD
disk please contact the Rohde & Schwarz service
department.
SSD Disk Replacement
As soon as the broken SSD disk has been identified (see section “Identifying
a Defective SSD Disk” on page 46), it can be replaced easily. The replacement of a broken SSD disk can be divided into three steps:
1
Removing the SSD disk from the system.
2
Replacing the SSD disk.
3
Reassembling it into the system

Log Files
Before replacing a SSD disk you have to collect the log files
of the RAID controller. If you know how to do this you may
proceed on your own. If not, please contact the

System Damage
Significant environmental changes, for example, altitude,
voltage, temperature, shock, vibration, etc., can damage a
SSD disk.
Handle SSD disks with great care.
It is best to use the same brand and type of SSD disk again. Otherwise a loss
of performance might occur.
Perform the following steps:
1. Unscrew the screws that fix the SSD disk to the disk carrier.
2. Exchange the defective disk with a new one and assemble it in the disk
carrier with the screws.
Reassembling the SSD Disk
After replacing the SSD disk, the disk carrier with the new disk has to be
reassembled in the system.
Perform the following steps:
1. Slide the disk carrier back into its shaft at the disk array.
2. Push the disk carrier completely back into the shaft. Move it until you feel

File Access to the Disk Array
During a rebuild, real-time processing may not be possible.
It is recommended to restrict file access to the SSD disk
array until the rebuild is finished, as it takes several hours.
Avoid file access operations to the disk array during
this time, otherwise it may take considerably longer.
Removing the Top Cover
This section guides you through the process of opening the casing. This is
required e.g. in case you have to replace a defective PCI board or a cooling
fan.
High Voltage
The system you are working on operates with voltages that can be
hazardous to your health.
Do not work on the system or access its interior with the power
cables being plugged in.
Make sure the power supply is disconnected from the components you intend to work on.
System Damage
The system must be operated only with the chassis’ cover installed to
ensure proper cooling.

Recovery of the System Disk
The R&S system provides a backup SSD drive (see "Overview of the Rear"
on page 21) that can be used to restore the operating system on the system
disk back to its manufacturing state. Once selected as a boot device, it will
launch a Live Linux which in turn will restore the system disk.
Total Loss of Data
Selecting the wrong device can lead to a total loss of data.
Do not execute any commands if you are not sure about
the correct target device.
